Still wearing your same old subtle highlights? It's time to upgrade with one of these hair color ideas that are guaranteed to be huge this year

Taking the plunge on a new hair trend can be risky. You worry about whether or not it'll work with your skin tone. You worry about coming off like you're trying too hard. You worry about the colorist doing a total botch job..

But after you've sifted through countless hair color ideas and finally decide to try a new hair trend, you also have to wonder if it's going to fall out of style as quickly as it came in (feather hair extensions come to mind!).

Granted, there's no real guarantee that a trend will stay in style for a while, but there is a way to make your gamble a bit safer. How? By following the advice of a hair trend guru, like celebrity hair colorist and all-around color expert Debi Dumas of the gorgeous Byron Salon in Beverly Hills, Calif. We recently met up with her at her salon to talk about the hot new hair color ideas you'll want to consider trying.

How can Dumas help you prevent a hair color disaster? "I take more into consideration than just hair color," she says. "I look at what hairstyles are gaining popularity, but even beyond hair, I look at fashion. They all work together." Based on what she's seen, Dumas gave us her top five predictions for 2013's hottest hair colors.

Kind of over the ombre hair, it really is so boring. Orange .. yikes! I should know, tried it, yikes again. Buttery blonde, and L'Oreal is trying a Rose Gold which is a very soft gold blonde but not strawberry or pink but it needs dark low lights or it's bleh.

As a natural redhead, yet now an enhancer, I found nothing that would come close to something I would consider changing my hair to. I have lilly white skin. I'm not coloring it orange but if anyone can come up with an idea, I'll listen. He's coming...Christ Jesus.
